    Reader note

    "The Author Transmigrates into a Cultivation World: The Rogue System Forces Me to Take the Blame" is quite good, but definitely don't read it while eating! [Smirk] The novel mainly tells the story of the author who, after complaining about the half-finished plot of his novel, unexpectedly transmigrates to the Qingyun Sect in the Desolate Ancient Continent, becoming a menial disciple and beginning his career as a scapegoat. Because one scapegoat leads to another (this isn't forced or contrived; it's due to the novel's "rogue system" binding him, which some readers might misunderstand if they haven't noticed. Also, the appearance of a "court gavel" in the second chapter might feel out of place, but actually, I think the idea of ​​a "court gavel in the cultivation world" is quite interesting. For example, using special materials and having a built-in deterrent effect makes perfect sense, and this kind of anti-cliché detail can actually be a highlight of the novel. It's just that the author didn't explicitly state this, which is something the author could suggest improving). The protagonist, Lin Mo, the scapegoat, goes through a journey of resistance, helplessness, compromise, and finally acceptance and anticipation. While there isn't much detailed characterization, the reader can clearly feel his psychological transformation. This change feels natural and makes it less likely to abandon the story. Also, I think this author isn't writing a harem novel, but rather a "feel-good" novel, as the author's introduction and the novel's title suggest. The writing style of "setting up later, gradually unfolding, and directly plunging into conflict at the beginning" might make readers accustomed to the traditional approach of "establishing the world first and then telling the story" struggle to keep up with the pace and cause them to drop the story. Because the core of a "feel-good" novel is "fast-paced and full of conflict," the limited space doesn't allow for the nuanced character development of traditional novels. The female lead's characterization is relatively superficial in the early chapters, as the focus is entirely on the scapegoat protagonist, Lin Mo. Readers must follow the plot and persevere to fully understand the various characters through the events. This is a very standard "feel-good" novel writing style, and I think the author has done a pretty good job in this aspect. The very first chapter clearly explains the core rules of the "rogue system + forced scapegoating," which is the biggest cause and effect of the entire book. As for the details of the female lead getting into trouble, I think the author didn't need to elaborate (simply explaining why she got into trouble would suffice), because the core appeal is how the protagonist "takes the blame," not how the female lead "gets into trouble." Here's a tip: "Don't jump to conclusions after the first two chapters; all the foreshadowing and twists come later!" Finally, I suggest the author optimize the stereotypical villain characters. Since you're writing a fast-paced, action-packed story, the conflict needs to be well-developed, and to do that, the villains need to be more vividly portrayed. As a novice author, I think this novel is excellent in other aspects, except for the villain character development, which I find rather mediocre. I think the author could use more of the villains' body language to create more memorable characters, because a purely descriptive writing style is unlikely to leave a lasting impression. Lastly, I highly recommend everyone check out this novel. For a new author, it's really quite good! [Please update more often!][Please update more often!][Please update more often!]

    Zhen Xiaosi turned to look at Du Xiaobing, whose eyes were red. "Back when I was teaching Du Xiaobing how to control the heat in the dyehouse," Zhen Xiaosi said, "there was a young man named Su Gan in the general store next door. He always liked to sit at the alley entrance, watching people come and go, muttering, 'This world changes every day.'" Tears streamed down Su Gan's face. "That was my ancestor," he said. "My family genealogy says that my ancestor Su Gan lived in Yongning Ward in Chang'an during the Zhenguan era. He was open-minded, observant of the world, and often recorded what he saw and heard in the neighborhood in a book, which was passed down to future generations." Zhen Xiaosi nodded. "Your ancestor's book," she said, "I've read it." Su Gan was stunned. "More than a thousand years ago, before I left Chang'an, your ancestor gave me that book," Zhen Xiaosi said. "He said, 'Take these things with you, so that future generations can see how we Chang'an people lived.'" She took out a thin book from her sleeve; the cover was yellowed and the edges worn, but the writing was still clearly legible. Su Gan took it and opened to the first page— "In the spring of a certain year of Zhenguan, at dawn in Yongning Ward, the street guards announced a new order: all those riding in carriages must wear waist ropes, and violators would be fined five coins…" His hands trembled. It was his ancestor's handwriting. "I've carried it with me all this time," Zhen Xiaosi said. "For over a thousand years." 4 Su Gan spent the whole day in the fire-repairing workshop. He saw Old Cao polish a copper coin thinner than paper with his greasy hands; he saw Zhi Xiaoye's ears turn red while drawing, but his eyes shone with an alarming brightness; he saw Du Xiaobing spend an entire afternoon calculating with a table full of counting rods; he saw Chen Xiaoyao squatting on the ground, muttering "Measure it again, measure it again" to a sealed copper jar. At dusk, Xia Linyu arrived. He had changed into a moon-white robe and was carrying a food box. Zhi Xiaoye's ears turned red again when she saw him—not from shyness, but from nervousness. "Young Master Xia..." Xia Linyu smiled and placed the food box on the table: "I brought these for you. Flatbread from Old Li's shop in the East Market, eat it while it's hot." Old Cao poked his head out from behind his workbench and took a piece without hesitation. Du Xiaobing took off his glasses, wiped them, and took one as well. Chen Xiaoyao pounced on him, his mouth stuffed full. Zhen Xiaosi stood by the window, watching this scene. Xia Linyu walked to her side, his voice soft: "How was your day?" "Fine," Zhen Xiaosi said. "The blueprints for the sealed chamber are finalized; Lao Cao will start working on it tomorrow." "I'm asking about you," Xia Linyu said. "How are you?" Zhen Xiaosi was silent for a moment. "Su Gan is here," she said. "He brought his ancestor's book. It's the book his ancestor gave me when I left Chang'an over a thousand years ago."

Tune in and give it a listen!] Mo Ran thought becoming Chu Wanning's disciple had been a mistake. His master was far too much like a cat, while he was like a silly dog wagging its tail and fawning over him. Dogs and cats can't reproduce together, and the silly dog hadn't wanted to reach out his fluffy paws toward that cat in the first place.

    "Ode to the Cold Kiln" (also known as "Ode to the Broken Kiln") The heavens have unpredictable winds and clouds, and man has unforeseen fortunes. A centipede with a hundred legs cannot outrun a snake; a rooster with two wings cannot fly higher than a crow. A horse may have the capacity to travel a thousand miles, but without a rider, it cannot go; a man may have lofty ambitions, but without good fortune, he cannot achieve them. It is said that in life, wealth and honor should not corrupt, nor should poverty and hardship sway him. Confucius, with his unparalleled literary talent, suffered hardship in the state of Chen; Jiang Ziya, with his exceptional military strategy, fished by the Wei River. Yan Hui died young, yet he was not a wicked man; Robber Zhi lived a long life, yet he was not a virtuous person. Emperor Yao was wise and sagacious, yet he had an unworthy son; Gu Sou was foolish and stubborn, yet he had a filial son. Zhang Liang was originally a commoner, Xiao He was merely a county official. Yan Ying was short in stature, yet he was appointed prime minister of Qi; Zhuge Liang lived in a thatched hut, yet he became the military advisor of Shu Han. Although Xiang Yu was powerful, he was defeated and committed suicide at the Wujiang River; although the King of Han was weak, he eventually ruled a vast empire. Li Guang possessed the might to shoot tigers, yet remained unranked in his old age; Feng Tang had the talent to ride dragons, yet never found his opportunity. Han Xin, before his time, lacked even three meals a day; but upon his rise, he wore a three-foot jade seal at his waist; yet, once his luck turned, he died at the hands of a scheming woman. Some are poor first and then rich; some are strong in old age but frail in youth. A man full of learning may fail the imperial examinations even in his old age; a man of little talent and learning may pass them young. Palace maids in secluded courtyards, when their luck declines, become prostitutes; courtesans, when their time comes, become wives. Young beauties often marry foolish men; handsome young men are often married to coarse and ugly women. Dragons, before their time, hide among fish and turtles; gentlemen, when their time is lost, bow to petty men. Though clothes are tattered, one should maintain a dignified appearance; though face may be sorrowful, one should always maintain a peaceful heart. When times are unfavorable, one should be content with poverty and keep to one's lot; if one's heart is honest, one will surely rise again. A gentleman who is poor at first has a natural talent; a petty man who suddenly becomes rich cannot escape his humble origins. When Heaven is out of season, the sun and moon lose their light; when Earth is out of season, grass and trees wither; when Water is out of season, the winds and waves are turbulent; when Man is out of season, fortune and prosperity cease. Blessings and fortunes are predetermined in one's destiny; who wouldn't desire wealth and status? If one doesn't rely on one's birth chart (based on the Eight Characters of Birth), how can one become a high-ranking official? In the past, I lived in Luoyang, begging for food from monks in the morning and sleeping in a dilapidated kiln at night. I lacked clothes to cover my body and food to satisfy my hunger. Superiors despised me, and inferiors loathed me. People called me lowly, not because I didn't want to be. Now I reside in the imperial court, holding the highest rank, one of the Three Dukes. Though I bow to one person, I stand above millions. I wield the rod to punish officials and the sword to execute the stingy. I have thousands of chests of fine silk and brocade, and hundreds of delicacies to eat. When I go out, strong men hold my whip; when I return, beautiful women serve me wine. Superiors favor me, and inferiors fawn over me. People call me noble, not because of my ability, but because of the times, fortune, and destiny. Alas! In this life, one should not indulge in wealth and honor, nor deceive oneself in poverty and hardship. One should accept the cycle of heaven and earth, which repeats itself endlessly.

    New book synopsis: In 2050, Earth's population surpasses 10 billion. Humanity begins implementing a parallel universe expansion plan, opening a mysterious spatial portal—the Back Chamber. The last time it was opened was in 1986, but the 1986 opening was mistaken for a legend and forcibly opened, causing a reset event in the Back Chamber. Most of the levels and corpses changed, and the protagonist group and millions of others fall into the Back Chamber. Their struggle to survive in this perilous environment is a must. This cultivation-style story satisfies your desire for power enhancement; no system, only true men! Supernatural abilities make the novel even more interesting.
